Tourney: Cambridge National Series 19-20/5/2012

Bill, come be in a team with me and someone else.

Bill, come be in a team with me and someone else.

Yeah, no. maybe.

Can't.

Anna gets back on the Saturday night, and experience has shown that she regards a 2 day polo tournament as insufficient grounds for neglecting cats.

Might have conned someone into letting me ruin their team anyway.

one of you 2 get in touch with Felix or Alexis and play with Hackney Goal Slotters as they are looking for a sub

done and done.

Ben's injured, Joe can't make it, so we're going to bail. Apols. I paid for me, but you can stick that in the warehouse fund.

Bill, are you sure? That's very kind of you, thank you. Every little helps.

General update:

OK, the second deadline for payment has passed, and we're still short on paid up teams. Please can teams sort out the balance for their teams ASAP, we really do need to know who will be in attendance for sure before the event, we really don't want last minute drop outs. Thanks.

In other news, a little bit of info for you all to answer queries:

Two courts on Saturday, first games will start at 10:00am, and will be Swiss rounds. We will try our best to seed the teams, but it looks like we have a few new teams so it will be difficult to get this right (especially first thing on Saturday morning, hence the need to get your teams paid up and confirmed!). Lunch will be served at 1:00pm and we'll have a break for 45mins/1 hour to sweep the courts and re-fuel.

We will finish at around 7/8pm, at which point we want all teams to descend upon our nice little local pub for food/beers AFTER we have dismantled the second court. Our Master of Ceremonies will be on hand to direct. All help in dismantling will be appreciated.

We will commence games at 10:00am on Sunday, and these will be on a single court, double elimination. As many teams as we can fit in, looking at 16 teams so far.

All being well, we'll be playing our final around 5/6pm, and prize giving shortly afterwards.

Plus, most importantly, teams are welcome to kip in the warehouse over the weekend, and come up on Friday night for throw ins/help us build the second court.

Did moar coffee pay up as killer queens? If not can I donate the bubonic plays fee to them as we're gonna have to drop out. I am now going to be breaking hackney goal slags for the weekend.
Also lol at otter tags.

Chan's been quiet recently...

Rob, OK no probs we'll do that.

I like how the Camb teams haven't paid.

Ha, yeah it's pretty typical, we're all a bit slack on paying (me especially, RV will testify)

To be honest, we want your dosh up front as we need to be sure you're going to attend. After the BM we had a lot of last minute head scratching as teams dropped out, it's better this way and it should be the norm now for tournaments IMO (see Brighton Tourney, getting their fees in early to help costs in advance)

I think you should only be able to register if you have paid.

Dino's? took our name off at least a week ago.

i'm going up tonight for games if anyone wants ?

Is anyone still looking for a team? Horizontal Drop-Outs have lost a player due to a mildly horrific wrist injury.
Anyone up for kickin' it with an almost completely untested Canterbury team?

Will supply at least one beer. Maybe a cake

I paid for Moar Coffee as MCR name TBC (Emma/Ben/Salman) on the 4th!

And I sent the mp3. I've been good, honest!

OK, in that case I won't donate my fee to them, I can play for goal snotters if it ain't been done yet.

Aidan, I saw your team name on the last team list so assumed you were in. Salman, updated.

Rob, you're donating your fee to HGS right seeing as you're playing with them?

Yeah, if they ain't paid yet.
